LibPrettyPrint
Because staring at raw Lua tables shouldn’t hurt in World of Warcraft.
Who is this for?
Intended for addon developers who want safer, more readable debug output during development.
Description
LibPrettyPrint is a lightweight utility library for readable, safe table inspection and debugging in World of Warcraft. It pretty-prints Lua values with configurable depth limits, key sorting, and flexible formatting, safely handles cyclic tables, and is designed for development and debugging use without impacting runtime performance.
Based on jagt/pprint.lua, which is itself a reimplementation of inspect.lua. Adapted and extended for World of Warcraft.
